Death Becomes an Evergreen

Bark beetles are ravaging the forests in our neck of the woods too. You've managed to capture a beautiful shot in what might normally be viewed as an eyesore. The detail and color are great. The muted orange over the saturated blue is excellent. Composition is very pleasing, although I feel like I want to see a more distinct focal point. Except I'm having trouble pinning down what you could've done different with your angle without ruining what you've already got. (7)

The 'nude' category got me chuckling. The orange has indeed been laid bare, albeit with a heavy blur to avoid offending the censors. Had to mark down because it is an orange after all, and the blur was done pretty bluntly. For some reason though, that same blur made it look really delicious, so I didn't mark it down all the way. (have to give credit for eliciting the gut reaction)

Waiter, There's a fly in my soup!

Heheh, I hate when that happens. Nice idea. The orange on the purple and ivory tablecloth is a good color choice. But the photo comes across more like a snapshot to me. I think trying to get a sharper focus would be one thing that would help. Another thing might be trying some different angles or arrangements of the utensils so that it's less of a documentary shot and has a little more drama (arg, I hate drama, but in a photo I think it's fun). Maybe a lower angle where you're beginning to peer into the bowl and the fly carcass is just in view over the rim and the spoon is angled so it leads your eye to the fly, or something like that. Just a thought. Thanks for the chuckle and momentary grossout :)

This is hilarious. Oh man, the sliver of carrot peeking out of the nose...
Nice job. Good composition and lighting. I also like the darker, soft backdrop of spilled carrot framing the scene from the left.

Reflections

This has a really cool Mondrian style to it. The blue sky and almost-neutral bottom windows are a great fit against the orange. I think it would be interesting to see what this would look if you took a shot from further away and zoomed back in so that the perspective isn't as strong. Just curious. It would probably ruin the reflections though.

Yoked to Death

This shot is incredible. What I enjoy is the way the rich texture of the speckled egg sets a nice firm base that my attention can leap from, sweeping over to the brilliant congealed yolk on the right and then cascading down on the shimmering surface you've lit, while the deep black background binds it all together. This is my favorite in the challenge.

Sagrada Familia, Barcelona Spain

This is a beautiful sillhouette. The tension between the different lines holds the composition together really well. I particularly like the way the spires and the two outer cranes are visually shooting up and then off to the left, but the jet contrail and center crane help pull it back in.

Fruits'n'Blooms

I like the composition on this image. But the shadows are so light that it really flattens the picture. If you were to darken them about 10%, I think that would really help pop the fruit and flowers. --JPerez

Excellent sharpness and detail. Good tonal range. The textures pop out very nicely. The problem I have is that my eye tends to gravitate toward the bright section in the very center, but I don't feel that really serves well as a focal point. And with all the interesting things happening, I think it would've benefited from something to anchor it. (6) --JPerez
